To a/ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PETER C. HERMAN, of Dartmouth, in the Province of Nova Scotia and Dominion of Canada, have ,invented a new and Improved Anchor, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of my invention is to provide a new and improved anchor which will never fail to catch, and which cannot be fouled.

The invention consists of the-detailed construction and combination of parts, substantially as hereinafter fully set forth, and pointed out in the claim.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this speciication,in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding` parts in all the gures.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of my im- Fig. 2 is an end view of the same, and Fig. 3 is a plan view of a' modifica` tion of the same.

Two bars, A, are united to each other at an angle to form a V-shaped frame, and to the apex of the said frame a ring, B, is fastened, to which the anchor-chain C is secured. On

the free end of each bar a fluke, D, is secured, of which one projects upward and the other projects downward. The two 'lukes must always project in opposite directions, and Inust always project from the upper and lower sur- L one piece, of the linkes D, disposed at the divergent ends and projecting from the bottom and top surfaces of the bars A, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
